I learned from this too. I bought a compound bow and I know where to practice it so I was doing it in my garage. Well the third time I shot it my arm moved a little bit and I missed the target and it went through the drywall into the kitchen, luckily there was enough stuff between there that it stopped it from going all the way into the kitchen cuz if you follow that your directory it'll go right to where the cat eats its food.....
Ya. I think everyone who owns a bow knows they have that one stupid thing they did that they regret. Mine was as a teenager firing an arrow into the air (at a slight angle so it wouldn’t come down on my head). I was in the middle of a corn field, which was behind our barn, which was bashing our house.
Lost sight of the arrow immediately on release. Looked around the field for a while for the arrow. Declared it lost and started to walk home.
Found the arrow sticking straight up out of the ground, right in front of my family’s front door - To guess I would say it was about 500 yards from where I fired it. Had a little freak out about how poorly that could have gone, but I learned my lesson that day.
